   Service was great but when we got there they stated they no longer use opentable and did not have us on their reservation list. They were still able to seat us but it was not too busy. I’d recommend using their website or calling to confirm. They are still showing in OpenTable so I’d recommend calling to confirm if booking.

   Everything we ordered from drinks, appetizers, main courses, and desert was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this. The ceviche was one of the best ceviches I have ever had.

   Walked in immediately club vibes but with some kids lol maybe the music choice was definitely inappropriate for kids. The drinks were good not strong but good we had Molcajete was super delicious but ours didn’t have any shrimp. Their fire red salsa was hot and delicious. We also had the queso flameado, ostiones el jefe soooo good The others had birra tacos and a burrito they all liked their food. Only downfall for me will be them closing at 11 maybe 1am on the weekend. And no Children after 9. Other than that we will be back!

   Table of 10 Server had a hard time understanding English was very kind but we had a lot of miss orders and not understanding when ordering. The food is amazing, drinks are yummy fun atmosphere…it’s very dark lighting and music is very loud. Celebrated a birthday was so fun but maybe needed more than one server. 5:30 reservations left at 9pm. It’s was a long night.

   Food took way too long, the server I had was horrible never came to check on us or refill drinks. My Birria tacos tasted burnt.
